The Bühler Apprenticeship Academy
The Bühler Apprenticeship Academy offers an apprenticeship for the next generation of Mechatronics Technicians. The apprenticeship is a formalized 3-year dual training program that combines structured on-the-job training and related technical instruction.
Our apprenticeship connects learning directly to the world of work. Apprentices are paid as full-time employees of Bühler Inc. for the entire length of the program and receive benefits.
This 3-year program is divided into modules with classes at Hennepin Technical College, Minneapolis, and the Bühler Apprenticeship Workshop in Plymouth, MN.
All training classes, tools, books, computer and uniforms are paid for by Bühler (contingent upon successful completion and employment commitment).
Upon completion of the program the apprentices earn their associates degree of applied science in Automation Robotics Engineering Technology from Hennepin Technical College, a journey workers card from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, along with a Mechatronics Technician Apprenticeship Degree from the German American Chamber of Commerce.
